Brit Awards Admit They ‘Wronged’ Adele Last Year

Adele’s home country is apologizing for the way they treated her at last year’s Brit Awards.

The singer took home Best Album at the 2011 awards show for her album, 21, but her acceptance speech was cut short to keep the show from running over its allotted time. Adele was none too happy about the slight and even flashed the middle finger to the cameras.

Now the show’s chairman, David Joseph, is speaking out, hoping to make amends for their error.

“How can you take an artist who has made the biggest cultural impact musically this country has seen globally for some time and cut her off in the middle of her speech?” he told The Guardian. “I very much to this day question what was happening in that control booth.”

Joseph even hinted that the show plans to do something at this year’s awards, which airs February 20, to right their wrong.
